COURSE DESCRIPTION Environmental Science is a course designed to give students a basic introduction to the environment. These concepts are reinforced by appropriate laboratory activities, mathematical solutions, historical perspectives, and everyday applications.

MATERIALS
You will need a 1-inch 3 ring binder to be used for science only.
3 Dividers: (Labeled: Notes, CW/HW, Labs) All papers must be TITLED and arranged in the proper section of the notebook by date.
You will need a 3-prong paper folder for turning in graded assignments.
Pencils, pen, colored pencils, ruler, and your notebook.
Computers or computer access.
CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR
Be in class and in your assigned seat on time, when the bell rings-not after.
All work handed in must be neat and legible.
There is no food, drinks, or gum in class. AND NO ELECTRONICS!
Students will adhere to the MCSD and Shaw behavior code.
Misconduct will not be tolerated in this class.
No personal grooming during class time.
All students are expected to participate in all activities.
DETENTION
Upon violation of any policy, the student will be assigned detention. Detention begins at 3:30 pm and terminates at 4:00 pm in Room 215.
Failures or refusals to serve detentions
First offense – one additional day of detention
Second offense – immediate referral to the assistant principal
Misconduct during detention will result in an additional day of detention. Tardiness to detention will not be allowed. Students will be productively occupied for 30 minutes (cleaning desks, washing glassware, sweeping the floor, etc.).
Progress reports will be issued at midterm. Progress Reports must be turned in signed by a parent the day following their issue.
Scholastic integrity: Do not allow anyone to copy your work in this class. I will consider this cheating and it will result in a zero grade.
ABSENCE
Excused absence: Students will have three (3) days to make up their work.
If present the day work is assigned but absent the day work is due; the work MUST be turned in the first day you return to school to receive full credit.
Unexcused absence: Students will NOT be allowed to make up work and a zero will be recorded.
Tests: Tests are announced and posted well in advance. If you are absent the day before a test, you are expected to take the test with the rest of the class.
All late work will only receive partial credit.
CREDIT RECOVERY
You will be allowed to retake most exams (nine weeks tests excluded) after school during the allotted time (usually the week after exams are returned). I will not give you a grade lower than the original, so there is no excuse for wasting this opportunity…you can only improve your grade.
